| Villains: Chester Yapsby and The Giant Roaches
Animation Production by: Starburst Animation Co., Ltd
Half-length (11-minute) episode. First aired with "Overdue".
Ron learns to speak cockroach, though not while under pressure.
Ron is afraid of normal bugs, while Kim is afraid of bigger-than-normal bugs.
In the cafeteria scene, both Monique & Bonnie pass behind Kim & Ron, but neither have any lines this episode. |
Ron: (To a giant cockroach) You're gonna step on me?! How ironic is that?
Kim: My jeepers, are offically creeped.
Kim: Ick! It's touching you.
Kim: The hurl factor's approaching critical here!
Ron: It's like a shiny puppy... with a shell!
Ron: The quakes? That was you.
Chester: No. That was my ARMY OF GIANT COCKROACHES!
Ron: Giant what?
Kim: Cockroaches.
Ron: Ah! Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts. (opens his eyes to see that the roaches are only three feet long) Dude, you call those giant?
Chester: They're pretty big for a cockroach.

Kim: He eats your garbage?
Ron: Hey, don't knock it til you've tried it. Actually, go ahead and knock it. I tried it, it's not so good.
Kim: I'm not tearing up because this is touching, okay? The wind's coming off miles of garbage. |
| At the very end of this episode, Kim's hair is patted on the wrong side.
^-- Another case of a flipped cells. The shot is recycled from tree-spider gag near the beginning of the episode.
Ron incorrectly refers to Roachie as "la grande cucaracha." The correct way of saying it is "la cucaracha grande." |
Ron: Ron's departing monologue to Roachie
Ron's monologue saying goodbye to Roachie is pretty much comprised of lines from every single "goodbye" speech made by the child in any given boy-and-his-animal-friend movie, where the boy has to leave his animal friend behind or let them go.
none: The giant roaches
A classic parody/homage to the giant-bugs-created-by-radiation B-movies of the fifties.
Kim: You're like the Roach Whisperer.
Reference to the movie The Horse Whisperer
None: Land of the Roaches
The end of the episode, with Ron and Kim leading the giant roaches to a new home in the Middleton Landfill is remnent of the end of I, Robot, where Decetive Spooner relocates all of the robots to a new home in a landfill outisde of the city.
Re: Land of the Roaches
You're partially right. That area was actually where obsolete robot models were sent for storage before decommisioning.
